What your NEAR dedicated node is built from.
Every chain fact below is taken from NEAR's official documentation (docs.near.org), last reviewed against it on 22 Aug 2026, not from what is convenient to sell. Where the documentation is silent, the row says so.
| Node software | nearcore |
| Interfaces | JSON-RPC |
| Full node | Yes, from $199/mo (standard band) |
| Archive node | Yes, from $799/mo |
| Validator | Public validator role; quoted per setup |
| Gas token | NEAR |
| Official hardware guidance | RPC node, mainnet recommended: 8-Core (16-Thread) Intel i7/Xeon or equivalent, 32GB DDR4, 4TB NVMe SSD (minimal: 16GB DDR4, 2.5TB SATA3 SSD at 15k IOPS / 800 MiBps); archival node mainnet recommended: same CPU, 32GB DDR4, 3 TB SSD hot + 115 TB non-SSD cold storage (https://near-nodes.io/archival/hardware-archival). source ↗ |
| Argusnodes build | Meets the official guidance above with headroom on top, never at the minimum. Your quote names the exact CPU, RAM and NVMe. |
| Locations | 18 Tier-3 cities across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific |
| SLA | 99.99% uptime, written, with credits |
What changed on NEAR recently (reviewed 22 Aug 2026)
- Archival node spec (3 TB SSD hot + 115 TB cold) is far heavier than a normal RPC box; archive offers should be priced/scoped separately.
- FastNEAR became the sole snapshot provider from 1 Jan 2025 and its free snapshot service was deprecated 1 June 2025; official guidance is to use Epoch Sync where possible. source ↗
- NEAR Lake (AWS S3 indexer) stopped indexing on 24 March 2026; alternatives are Neardata, FastNear/NearBlocks data APIs or the nearcore indexer. source ↗
- nearcore 2.11.0 carried protocol version 83 (vote 13 Apr 2026) and a further upgrade to protocol 84 was scheduled for 1 June 2026; testnet and mainnet releases run ~5 weeks apart. source ↗

The NEAR RPC node endpoint provider that hands you the keys.
Your NEAR endpoint lives on your own domain, locked to the IPs you allowlist, served from the city you choose across 18 Tier-3 datacentre locations. The node exposes JSON-RPC as documented by NEAR. Live p50 and p99 latency for your node streams to your dashboard, and the 99.99% SLA applies in writing. New to dedicated nodes? The dedicated RPC node guide covers the model end to end.
What you get on day one
- An HTTPS endpoint for your NEAR node, on your own domain if you want one
- Access locked to the IP addresses you allowlist
- A login to the Argusnodes dashboard: live p50 and p99 for your node, your orders and payments
- Engineers on ticket, chat, Telegram or Slack, 24/7
Chain facts on this page are sourced from NEAR's official documentation, and you can check them yourself:
NEAR dedicated node: the questions buyers ask.
What is a private NEAR RPC endpoint?
An RPC endpoint that only your applications use. It sits on a dedicated NEAR node that is yours alone, on your own domain if you want one, and answers only the IP addresses you allowlist. No other customer's traffic shares the machine, so nobody else's burst becomes your latency, and there is no rate limit to hit.
How long until my NEAR node is live?
As soon as it has synced with the NEAR network, and we tell you the moment it is ready. Sync time depends on the node type (an archive node replays the full history, so it takes longest), so your quote carries an estimate for your exact setup rather than a number that is sometimes wrong. The quote itself lands within the hour, around the clock.
What is included in the from $199/mo for my NEAR node?
Everything the node can do, with the premium add-ons other providers bill separately included free: unlimited RPS, every RPC method including heavy queries, unlimited connections, your own domain with an IP allowlist, 18 cities to choose from, a 99.99% SLA with credits, 24/7 engineer support and live p50/p99 in your dashboard. There is no add-on price list because nothing is an add-on.
What hardware will my NEAR node run on?
A machine that meets NEAR's official hardware guidance (quoted in the spec sheet on this page) with headroom on top. We never build at the minimum, because a node sized to the minimum becomes the bottleneck the day the chain grows. Your quote names the exact CPU, RAM and NVMe before you pay.
Can I test a NEAR node before I order?
We do not run free trials. Ask us for a latency report for NEAR from the city you want and you see the numbers before you order. Billing is monthly with no lock-in, so you can cancel at the end of any month.
Does Argusnodes run NEAR archive nodes?
Yes. NEAR's documentation describes full-history operation; we run NEAR archive nodes from $799/mo with historical queries unmetered.
Can I run a NEAR validator with Argusnodes?
Yes. NEAR has a public validator role, and we operate validators under the same monitoring and support as RPC nodes, quoted per setup. Pick "Validator" in the configurator and describe the stake setup.
Can I migrate my NEAR endpoint from QuickNode, GetBlock, Chainstack or another provider?
Yes. A dedicated NEAR node speaks the same JSON-RPC interface as the shared endpoint you use today, so migration is pointing your application at your own endpoint. Billing is monthly with no lock-in on our side, and support engineers are on the channels 24/7 during cutover.
Which city should I pick for my NEAR node?
Any of 18 Tier-3 datacentre cities across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific. Deploy near your users for an app, or ask us where NEAR latency is lowest for a bot; we answer from measurement. Need a city we do not list? Ask.
Are there rate limits or connection caps on a dedicated NEAR node?
No artificial ones: unlimited RPS and no connection cap. The machine is yours alone, so the hardware is the only ceiling: if it can serve the request, you can send it. There is no per-plan connection cap because there is no plan tier.
How do I pay for my NEAR node, and can I cancel?
Visa, Mastercard, bank transfer or crypto, billed monthly; crypto payments need no KYC. Cancel at the end of any monthly term; the node is provisioned for you alone, so there is no meter to escape and no exit fee.
How does Argusnodes compare to QuickNode, GetBlock, Chainstack and other NEAR RPC providers?
Argusnodes is dedicated-only: a private NEAR endpoint on a bare-metal node with no rate limits, at one fixed price from $199/mo with every add-on included. Per their own pricing pages: QuickNode sells dedicated clusters through enterprise sales without published prices, Chainstack bills dedicated nodes per hour on top of a paid plan, and Zeeve applies monthly request allowances on dedicated plans below its Enterprise tier (all checked August 2026); GetBlock lists dedicated nodes from $1,000/mo, with IP allowlisting and a custom endpoint URL sold as $199/mo add-ons each (checked September 2026). The comparison table on this page links every source.
